Urban Waves

Urban Waves present “Hen’s Teeth” the third single taken out of the upcoming album release by Shatter Hands. We’ve been fans of Yellow Spoon for a while, their sparse instrumentation and their approach towards their unique sound is absolutely amazing. The duo consists of Christoffer Holm Clausen on bass, keys and synth and Rasmus Riis Sitarz on drums and percussion. For this song Shatter Hands got his hands on some recordings from one of their jam sessions, as well as a carte blanche to do what he wanted with them. He fell in love with this particular take and listened to it for hours. And ended up reworking the melody, doing some drum work, then added some effects and structured it to become his own take on a Yellow Spoon jam. The track makes you want to either cruise slowly, sitting in the passenger seat of a car, or dance late at night in a smoky nightclub.

Shatter Hands is a sucker for weird and funny track titles with double meaning and he rarely works within this tempo and bounce, hence the saying and the title “Hen’s teeth”.

Here's a rework of Hen’s Teeth by Bluestaeb, a really nice spin on the original. This version is very different though, offering a new perspective on the sound. With a different tempo and time signature making it another genre entirely. Bluestaeb added his own expertise and style on the track and made a version that is both unique and fresh. This version is for everyone that likes to let go on the dancefloor letting the music take control for a while. The full album “Alive on arrival” is dropping on December 8th and you can already tell it’s going to be awesome!

Stan Forebee is returning with a beautiful track titled “Low Tide” that is part of our new series “Sounds of Nature”. He wrote this one in between Melbourne lockdowns when he felt at a low point of inspiration and isolated from his inner essence and nature, hence the title “Low Tide”. As he tried to put those feelings into the melody of the song, the sound of waves resembles longing back to his favourite nature beach strip, escaping the city walls. The song inspired him to look back at the last couple years of weird world events as well as looking forward to a better future ahead. This song is deep and meditative and filled with sorrow and hope. Which hits the perfect spot for this new autumn season!

Urban Waves is happy to present KaspaHauser to the label's roster and as the first entry in our new single series. This time around the theme is "Sound of Nature" the series will feature new and returning artists that will take the concept and work on tracks with Nature as the main source of inspiration!

With this new song titled “Rain Dance”, the Jazz head KaspaHauser creates a soothing atmosphere with the use of jazzed out chords on the Rhodes. The laid back tune is complimented by a catching synth lead, a funk infused bassline and well textured drums that are smartly mapped out. The song is inspired by the fleeting feeling of euphoria while dancing under the rain. The artist wanted to create a wholesome experience with an organic sound drawing form genres such as Jazz-Hop, Jazzy electronica and Lo-fi beats. The result is simply magical. Just kick back put your headphones on, close your eyes and let the music take you away!

Inspired directly by the master Joe Zawinul, the song is a composition dedicated to his music and legacy. We tried to capture the feeling of the legendary band “Weather Report” with background analogue pads along with Chino’s fretless bass melody that feels almost lyrical and the frenetic passages by Ted Taforo’s tenor saxophone heavily influenced by African music. While the whole song is supported by percussions in a “train” pattern. And the synth solo in the style of Zawinul as a cherry on the top.

This is the third single from the upcoming album "Endless Era" by Chino Corvalán releasing on Urban Waves Records on November 17!

Note: The vinyl is available on our Bandcamp and is ready for shipping out.

Urban Waves present “A Klinkvort Orange” the second single taken out of the upcoming album release by Shatter Hands. The track was made in Oslo with Oddbjørn during dark winter times and is meant as an upbeat escape from snow and cold weather to a warm place where you can let loose and dance. Oddbjørn is a drummer and producer so there is a lot of percussive elements to the track which is also a progression from Shatter Hands older slower works. This single includes a bonus second track! “A Klinkvort Orange” remix by Shield is a highly addictive and contagious instrumental hip hop track that brings back to the roots of the genre. With highly detailed textures the sound brings up a dramatic and epic atmosphere. Almost feels like the soundtrack for a super hero movie. The two tracks sum up nicely the promised vibes to come in the coming album “Alive on Arrival '' by Shatter Hands!

Here's the second single out of the upcoming album "Endless Era" by Chino Corvalán! Vuelve is a melodic and intense passage inspired by Meloza, an old composition by the same duo. It is one of the pillars of the upcoming Album by Chino Corvalán "Endless Era". The textures and deepness of Telemakus keys combined with the melodic fretless bass and drums by Chino will make your soul fly into the sky!
